I haven't been around that long, but I guess a lot of people agree with me! I think when anything is timed, I tune out (aside from obvious modes like time trial)

I actually don't mind some of these. Fetch quests can sometimes be tedious, but the point a to point b structure isn't all that annoying. As long as there is a reason to actually travel from one place to another, I don't mind them. I also actually enjoy traveling across a map, honestly.
